A Population of Massive Globular Clusters in Ngc 5128
We present velocity dispersion measurements of 14 globular clusters in NGC 5128 (Centarus A) obtained with the MIKE echelle spectrograph on the 6.5m Magellan Clay telescope. These clusters are among the most luminous globular clusters in NGC 5128 and have velocity dispersions comparable to the most massive clusters known in the Local Group, ranging from 10 – 30 km s−1. We describe in detail our...
متن کاملGlobular Clusters in the Sombrero Galaxy ( NGC 4594 )
The Sombrero galaxy, NGC 4594, contains the most numerous globular cluster system of any nearby spiral. It is an ideal candidate in which to study the globular clusters and contrast them with those in Local Group spirals. Here we present B and I imaging from the CTIO Schmidt telescope which gives a field-of-view of 31 ′ × 31 ′ . Using DAOPHOT we have detected over 400 globular clusters and deri...

متن کاملGlobular Clusters as Probes of Galaxy Evolution : NGC 5128
We present the results of our analysis of the photometric data of globular clusters in the elliptical galaxy NGC 5128 (Cen A). We show that the integrated colour U −B can be an effective metallicity indicator for simple stellar populations. This is because it is sensitive to metallicity via the opacity effect but relatively insensitive to the effective main sequence turn-off temperature of the ...
متن کاملImaging of the Merging Galaxy NGC 3597 and its Population of Proto–Globular Clusters
We present wide field-of-view near–infrared imaging from the NTT and very deep optical imaging from the HST of the young merging galaxy NGC 3597. The morphology of the galaxy and the properties of the newly formed proto–globular clusters (PGCs) are examined. Our K band data reveals the presence of a second nucleus, which provides further evidence that NGC 3597 is the result of a recent merger. ...
